Innovation in healthcare requires more than just a good idea; it requires a mission. Eziah Syed joins the Mission-Driven Founders podcast to pull back the curtain on mend™, a company bridging the gap between clinical nutrition and digital recovery.

Eziah discusses the hurdles of disrupting the wellness industry, the importance of behavioral support in digital health, and his advice for founders looking to make a "lasting impact" rather than just a quick exit. This is a masterclass in building a company that prioritizes patient outcomes as much as profit.

What you’ll learn:

The "Nutri-Pharma" Revolution: What it is and why it matters.
Scaling a mission-driven health tech company.
Why technology is the missing ingredient in nutritional healing.
